Stream of Consciousness
Decadent
I want to create long, luxurious strings of words to tantalize your mind like jellyfish tentacles drifting electric color through silky, rippling water to soothe you into my dream. Myriad ribbons of syllables candy-flossing your lips and ears as I seduce you into reading aloud, sound slipping over your lips into soft summer air, an ellipsis of spirit-soaring elongated labyrinths to lose yourself completely.

Perdendosi
The house lights come up No curtain call each Maestro and Maestra Lets their baton fall The halls lay empty The balconies stilled “The clarinet is useless!” “It won’t pay the bills!” Horde by horde The choruses chant No rhythm, no rhyme An ignorant lament They sing their verses In boardrooms and bailiwicks Aeolian scales Corrupted, sycophantic One by one The students depart Until the second chair’s Bereft a beating heart The house lights come up The curtain falls But no soul attends This evenings ball Concert halls closed The microphone falls Leaving naught but static’s Lonely echoed call

Corneal Static. Runner-Up in Static Challenge.
Darkness enveloping darkness eyes soaring scouring sinking searching redemption No none no light not outside not within no silence nothing but a hundred white dots taunting trembling treacherous dots engulfing entrapping entangling (Exfoliating? Extravagance!) Extraordinary dots peeling the dry corneas of my soul reaching inside getting ready to gut the grieving thoughts blink No tears just a thousand white dots multiplying like meercats, suricats, or just angry cats with their claws and their cackling screeches deft ears picking up on screams long gone your voice echoing in this nauseating nothingness A million white dots mullying over whether I deserve a second chance Mullying? Mull-y-ing Mulling? M U L L I N G O V E R What's "deserve" ? What's "second"? Why? their words their worlds their choice for they have filled and taken every piece of me that smelled like you there’s nothing left behind my eyes but darkness living breathing darkness made of dots .
